Alpinestars Clothing

Very well made, good fit but decided I wanted a armoured shirt that would suit my riding and travel requirements.

So I was in the market for a new set of textiles. I ride all year round on my Kawasaki ZX4-RR which I guess is a road derived sports bike. Most textile trousers, particularly those which are waterproof and insulated are aimed at the touring/adventure crew. In my opinion these trousers are big, bulky and ugly, and feel horrible to wear on a bike which the position isn't bolt upright.
We recently had really heavy rain where, my now old textiles, failed and I got wet! They were the RST Tractech Evo 5 textile jacket and the RST S1 textile trousers. Both sport bike cut ish.
I was mainly looking at Rukka laminated jackets but each offering being a grand or more and didn't suit the specification I wanted and so I thought better of it. I've also always pined after Alpinestars clothing, particularly when I was a teenager, but haven't really been able to afford it. Anyway, being lucky enough where I can afford Alpinestars now I took a punt on these trousers and wow, what a difference. The way they're cut, the way they fits, the lightness of them, the way they feel and look. Night and day difference to RST. They just feel way more premium, its hard to explain until you feel and see them for yourself. They has kept me dry and warm - so far...
Bottom line, I would definitely recommend these trousers. Go up a size though!!

I was disappointed that the jacket didn't come with either back or chest protection. Still, maybe I've been used to RST.

I used it in a freezing day. My neck was comfortable and warm. Not hot, not cold. Very satisfactory. Recommended!

I opted for these boots as I already have a set of Tech 7 and Tech 10 Motocross boots. Both pairs of boots have taken everything the weather and my riding can subject them to.
The quality is second to none and the durability is faultless - made it an easy decision for me.

Not had to test in heavy rain yet, but kept dry in shower. And warm commuting in -2 to 5 degrees
